The order of first data acquisition step (St1) and second data acquisition step (St2) can be put upside down.
Desirable transmission characteristic determining step (St3) will be described.
The position coordinates Ps and the direction vector Vs of the left speaker 21 that obtains among the position coordinates Pm of the microphone 13 that arithmetic processing unit 30 obtains according to step St1 and direction vector Vm and the step St2 determine desirable transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)Desirable transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)Be to concern (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs) transmission characteristic of measuring down in the position when having proofreaied and correct loudspeaker performance ideally.Desirable loudspeaker performance can be smooth frequency characteristic, linear phase characteristic, minimum phase characteristic etc.
Arithmetic processing unit 30 can use " desirable transmission characteristic mapping " to determine desirable transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)As mentioned above, desirable transmission characteristic mapping F is stored in the memory cell 31.Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B are the concept maps that desirable transmission characteristic mapping is shown.In Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B, the direction vector Vs difference of left speaker 21.In Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B, omitted diagram to Z-direction.Desirable transmission characteristic mapping is such mapping: at each the position coordinates Pm and the direction vector Vm of microphone 13, desirable transmission characteristic candidate mappings in each lattice point (grid) about the position coordinates of the initial point (Os) of loud speaker (being left speaker 21 in this example).For example, use loud speaker to measure desirable transmission characteristic candidate in advance with desirable loudspeaker performance.For example, shown in Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B, when the position coordinates Pm of microphone 13 be (Xm, Ym)=(3 ,-1) and direction vector Xm when parallel with Y-axis, the mapping that request is corresponding.In addition,, select the mapping of correspondence according to the direction vector Vs of left speaker 21 herein.The seat target value ((3 ,-1) etc.) be arbitrarily, and its unit for example is cm.
Fig. 9 A is illustrated in the example of the direction vector Vs of left speaker 21 mapping when parallel with Y-axis, and the example of the mapping of Fig. 9 B when being illustrated in direction vector Vs and tilting with respect to Y-axis.In each mapping, for example, when position coordinates Ps is that (Xs, in the time of Ys)=(3,3), the desirable transmission characteristic candidate that can be assigned to lattice point is confirmed as desirable transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)
Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B are illustrated in the difference of the asynchronous desirable transmission characteristic of position coordinates Ps of left speaker 21 in the mapping shown in Fig. 9 A.It is (Xs, the desirable transmission characteristic Hi in the time of Ys)=(3,3) that Figure 10 A is illustrated in position coordinates Ps1 (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs), and Figure 10 B to be illustrated in position coordinates Ps2 be (Xs, the desirable transmission characteristic Hi in the time of Ys)=(2 ,-3) (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)
Do not use the mapping of desirable transmission characteristic when audio reproducing apparatus 1 but determine desirable transmission characteristic Hi according to first and second data (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)The time, because the diffractions that the shell of audio reproducing apparatus 1 causes etc. are difficult to calculate linear characteristic.Arithmetic processing unit 30 can be determined desirable transmission characteristic Hi by select the approximating desirable transmission characteristic candidate of first and second data from the desirable transmission characteristic candidate of mapping in advance (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)
In above example, although being described, position coordinates Ps is positioned at the situation on the lattice point, it is also conceivable that position coordinates Ps is not positioned at the situation on the lattice point.In this case, can be confirmed as desirable transmission characteristic Hi near the desirable transmission characteristic candidate of the lattice point of Ps (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)In addition, can be according to desirable transmission characteristic candidate's approximate ideal transmission characteristic of adjacent lattice point.
Figure 11 illustrates approximate ideal transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)The concept map of method.
For example, as shown in FIG., when position coordinates Ps was positioned between lattice point Pa1 and the Pa8 (PaN), the distance between position coordinates Ps and each lattice point PaN was Da1 to Da8 (DaN), and the desirable transmission characteristic candidate of each lattice point PaN be Ha1 to Ha8 (HaN), determined desirable transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)Can represent by following formula 1.In formula 1, Dsum be Da1 to Da8 and.
[equation 1]
Hi ( Pm , Vm , Ps , Vs ) = Σ n = 1 8 Han · ( 1 - Dan Dsum )
Especially when the variation of the relative little and transmission characteristic with the size of left speaker 21 of audio reproducing apparatus 1 was big with respect to distance, this is approximate to be effective.In addition, when having generated mapping in advance, can increase the distance between the lattice point and suppress the number of measurement point.Like this, determine position relation (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs) the desirable transmission characteristic Hi in (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)
Actual transfer feature measurement step (St4) will be described.
Arithmetic processing unit 30 is from engaging recess 12 output test voice signals.For the test voice signal, can use TSP (temporal extension pulse, Time Stretched Pulse) signal, M sequence signal, white noise etc.The test voice signal is via engaging outstanding 23 arrival left speakers 21 and exporting from left speaker 21.
Microphone 13 is collected from the sound (test sound) of left speaker 21 outputs, and this sound is offered arithmetic processing unit 30 as the sound collecting signal.Arithmetic processing unit 30 compare test voice signals and sound collecting signal are to determine actual transfer characteristic H (S).Actual transfer characteristic H (S) can be expressed as following formula 2.
Expression formula 2
Y(s)=H(s)·X(s)
In expression formula (2), Y (S) is the Laplace function (output function) of sound collecting signal, and X (S) is the Laplace function (input function) of test voice signal.That is to say the variation of the impulse response of the sound collecting signal of actual transfer characteristic H (S) expression with regard to the test voice signal.Arithmetic processing unit 30 can be by calculating actual transfer characteristic H (S) with X (S) cancellation Y (S) shown in expression formula 2.The actual transfer characteristic H (S) that is calculated comprising: the space transmission characteristic between the loudspeaker performance of left speaker 21 and left speaker 21 and the microphone 13 (variation of the impulse response that receives during sound wave is via spatial transmission).
Correction factor calculation step (St5) will be described.
As mentioned above, the desirable transmission characteristic Hi that obtains among the step St3 (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)Be will be in position relation (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs) transmission characteristic of measuring down when having the loud speaker output sound of desirable loudspeaker performance.Therefore, can use desirable transmission characteristic Hi (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)Idealized system is expressed as following formula 3.
Expression formula 3
Y(s)=Hi (Pm,Vm,Ps,Vs)·X(s)
At this, shown in expression formula 1, when test voice signal X (S) had passed through the treatment for correcting of digital filter, the relation between test voice signal X (S) and the sound collecting signal Y (S) can be expressed as following formula 4.
Expression formula 4
Y(s)=H(s)·G(s)·X(s)
When expression formula 3 and expression formula 4 are identical, can use correction coefficient G (S) that the loudspeaker performance of left speaker 21 is corrected to desirable loudspeaker performance.Therefore, can use position relation (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs) the desirable transmission characteristic Hi under that determines among the step St3 (Pm, Vm, Ps, Vs)Shown in following formula 5, determine correction coefficient G (S) with the actual transfer characteristic H (S) that measures among the step St4.
Expression formula 5
G(s)=Hi (Pm,Vm,Ps,Vs)/H(s)
Like this, audio reproducing apparatus 1 is determined correction coefficient G (s).
